The 2017 Edmonton attack was a stabbing and vehicle-ramming attack that occurred in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on September 30, 2017. Edmonton police constable Mike Chernyk[2] was hit and stabbed by 30-year-old Abdulahi Sharif,[3] who then struck four pedestrians with a rental truck during a police chase.[4][5] Chernyk and all four injured pedestrians survived and were hospitalized. The incident was investigated as a possible Islamist terrorist attack, with police confirming the presence of an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant flag in the van that rammed the police officer.[1][5] Sharif was convicted of eleven criminal charges including five counts of attempted murder, but was not charged with terrorism-related offences.[6]
